Hello List,
Now that I am pretty much caught up from traveling I thought I would share two meteorites I picked up in Denver. Two small Bensours I purchased from Blaine Reed. They are the smallest Bensours that are known to exist, something that really shows how well they work these strewfields over. By the gram, they also reached the highest dollar of any Bensour meteorite I know. One weighs 0.030 grams and the other weighs 0.038 grams. The price paid $7.95 for the smaller in weight ($265.00 a gram) and $5.00 for the bigger one in weight ($131.57 a gram). An unusal note is the smaller one is size is the heavier one. Must have a metal vein in it. The smallest is also oriented with a rim, although kinda hard to tell in my photos. I will try to take better photos later but was sharing these with a list member so I thought I would share it with everybody.
I have also started a Thin Section album at Yahoo. Here you can see my attempts to take thin section photos. In the Marlow thin sections appears to me to be Carbonaceous enclosures. Can anyone tell me if this is correct. The DAG476 also have an enclosure (looks like a worm larva to me), if someone could identify for me I would appreciate it.
If interested you can view the Bensours at my Yahoo photo album....which is linked to my eBay about me page, scroll to the bottom of the page for items I am currantly running.
Thanks, Mark Bostick "The Big Collector"
